Take Authority over the Enemy and Reign

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. Luke 10:19

It is true that every Christian has an enemy, a common enemy. The Bible says so and some people still don’t believe it. It is not a mythological figure it is not something Christians say to control anyone. It is truly an unseen enemy whose intent/ purpose is to kill and destroy (John 10). I think it is silly not to acknowledge that he is out there seeking to destroy all believers in every way possible. Many Christians, remain ignorant of his reality. When we know what we dealing with we can better prepare ourselves and take authority given to us by Jesus sacrifice on Calvary. Fortunately in his case, we do not have to fight him because Jesus Christ fought and won many years ago. Our job is to only resist him and to stand on the word of God just like Christ did on the wilderness when He was under attack.

When we look at the devastation of this world it would seem that the devil is winning. There are 27 recorded active wars and the daily news report mothers being killed by their children, husbands and wife killing each other and brothers and sisters against each other. The family unit has taken a different form. It is not what it used to be anymore. It is the works of the devil. The truth is he operates under cover. He does not announce his presence in our life and by the time we realize it, he had already wreak havoc in our lives. In reality the devil has no authority. God has given us dominion over him. When Jesus offered his life on the cross as the sacrifice for the sins of the world, He also redeemed us from Satan’s power and dominion (Col. 2:15 and 1 John 3:8, Luke 10:19). Praise God! Satan is already a defeated enemy! His legal authority was neutralized by the finished/completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross. You can exercise your authority in Jesus name. Praise God!

When you submit to God the devil will free from you. There is no need to fear him. “Greater He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Remove everything that is not godly in your life. Turn to God. Why wait? Take authority and reign!

Praise the Lord!
